The good news is

that New Jersey wildlife officials successfully removed the arrow from this young buck's head after tranquilizing the animal in Morris County. The biologists who
did the procedure say the arrow did not damage any major arteries or organs and that the deer's prognosis for
survival is excellent. Assuming he survives hunting season, that is.

At a shop in Lahore, Pakistani vendors sharpen knives that are hung from chains and used in a ritual of self-flagellation by Shiite Muslims for the Ashura holiday. Ashura marks the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, who was killed in battle at Karbala, Iraq, in 680 AD.

A Balinese worshipper jabs himself with a ceremonial dagger called a keris to perform ngurek, a self-stabbing ritual at a
temple in Denpasar, Bali. Devotees work themselves into a trance state by dancing during the century-old sacred
ceremony before turning the keris on themselves.

Another Spanish tradition that should be retired:

A flaming bull chases a reveler in the ancient Toro de Jubilo Fire Bull Festival in Medinaceli, Spain. During the event, flammable balls are attached to the horns of a bull that is tied to a pylon. A thick layer of mud is applied to the back and face of the animal to protect it from burns. The balls are lit and the bull released, no doubt freaking out because its head is on fire.
